Do you rage and Imag ine valu things? Well, If ho you in set a heathen. You are simply an overclvlllzed persou. The trouble with you Is that you have l>eon pursuing too closely the golden culf, which can run faster than a bay steer, or you have been working too hard for a living. You have been dissipating. Perhaps the dissipation consists of too much work and the consequent worry. Per haps It consists of cocktails, cigarettes or even champagne. Perhaps you are what teetotalers call "temperate," but you have been eating too heartily or partaking of food that Is altogether too rich for your blood. No matter. Wheth er you have brain fag. mental stagna tion, Intellectual torpidity, nervous prostration or just a dammed liver dammed up by a clogged system that cries for exercise and relief?there Is one thing that you must have done to you la-fore you get over the trouble. Y'ou must l>o muldooned. Muldoonlng Is the lntest cure, even later than 1 brlstlnn Science. It Is many centuries later than medicine. Perhaps it v i -n't needed when men lived the simple life, lieforo the days of WILLIAM ML'I.DOON AM) TWO OK IMS I'OSES AS A GRECO ROMAN WRESTLER. . subways and trolley ci rs anil whig wagons and s Kk ticker* nnd dally papers auj the tending of noisy ma chines la nolso . ? factories. But In the> ? overclvlllzed days a severe course In mttkloonlngv beco .;es necessary now and then for ninny uicn. And what 1* unildooning? Well, that reminds tue. An old farm er In Arkansas once remarked to a youngster: "Young feller, to lie well an" stout an* peart you must cat reg'lar, sleep reg'lur an' work reg'lar, but," he add ed after a pause, "not too blamed reg' lar us to the w ork." And that Is the basement, superstruc ture. roof and skylight of niuldoonlng ?the whole structure of the science of restoring mental and physical faculties which have l'ullen Into bad habits uud gone awry. It is the science of reg ularity without intemperance lu eat ing, sleeping or working. Luxury All Can Have. Ellhu Boot Just now Is being rnul dooned. Mr. lloot Is the American pre viler, the secretary of state, with only two men in official rank between him and the presidency of the United States. lie tielieves In muldoonlng, and that should be a good recom mendation for the system. Y'ou need not go to William Muldoon's place, as Secretary Boot has done, to be mul dooned. You can muldoon yourself' wherever you are. Mr. Muldoon has room for only a few men at a time, and It costs much money to be inul dooned by Muldoon. the original mul dooner. Consequently only the rich ran afford to muldoon ut Muldoon's But this luxury Is yours for the taking at your own borne, for Mr. Muldoon hasn't patented his system. Muldoon's place Is a farm about two , miles from White Plains, N. Y. There ' Is a commodious house, with shower baths and a gymnasium. There are broad acres for walking over and long roads for riding along, and there are , gardens to boo ami hay to ruke and fork. Mnldoon 1m called "Professor," n nd he deserves the title. Nearly twen I ty years ago ho Is'gun his career ns a pro!' ? or of regularity and u practical I preacher of all round temperance, lie has no divinity degrees and probably no holastlc di vreea, but ho Is one of the most successful doctors and preach ers In lids country or any other. T.'p to about 1HS9 William Muldooti wa the champion flreco-Roninn wres tler of the world. lie could throw any man on earth time and again. I lie went up against the champion | of land after land and put him to the mat. Ho held the championship so many years that ho got ashamed of Ills selfishness and voluntarily re linquished It so that the other fellows might have a chance. Then Muldoon entered upon Ids long career of ntul doonlng. The Boston Bruiser. One of the first conspicuous person ages to be muldooued was John L, Sullivan. Muldoon took the lioston j bruiser in bund to put him In shape i for the fight with Jake KUralu. Sul livan, as ewryhody knows, was dlssl j paled. Win n ho went to Muhloon's : lie was unruly at first Hut the pro f s i- gave him to understand that he r Tvttn? Mile:.

John L. trained under i Mull 01 and found KUraln easy. I llegulurlty did It. < I KM McCoy aid other pugilists were! put hi shape hy Muldoon to their ad [ van; -re.

Wall 1 | renters and professional giants have i gone to Muldoon's with their livers | dammed up and their tongues wearing j ! overcoats In August. They have un dergone the six weeks or so of mul dooaitg and come away feeling like new men. There are two things which Profess or Muldoon hates as a chicken hates a rattlesnake. Whisky Is one and cigarette* the other. No whisky gets past his threshold, and a cigarette can't come within smelling distance. Muldoon was walking on Eighth nve- j nue, In New York, ot.d^ .iy w ben four j hoys, all smohlng cigarette*, passed by. "Look at those boys," he remarked to a friend. "That Is an evil that ought to be suppressed. Cigarettes are the lmne of a boy's life. Give me a lad who knows nothing of them or the taste of beer and liquor, and I'll give you the making of a big. strong and henithy man. I take a grent in terest In little ohaps and do everything I can to encourage their ideas of sport. I would like to tench them nil to stay away from vice and to learn to box. j wrestle, run and jump." On another occasion a young man smoking a cigarette approached Mul doon to gut data for a life of John,L. j "If you'll stop sucking that thing aud throw it away, I'll talk to you," i said the professor. That was some years ago, und Mr. j Muldoon was descrllied as "a liund some blue eyed man. with cheek* us j 4 pretty r.? the speckled elites of June apples, his shoulders looking as solid lis his llu/hs, so lithe and active." Now the professor Is past sixty, perhaps a little older than his present distin guished patient, Secretary Itoot, who Is sixty-two anil a half. Yet Muldoon still looks as pretty . t th ilooiny side ?fan Ellierta pc.ich. a:.4 I can punch the hag, box, wrtvile, file, walk or work to the III It of endurance for any one of his patients, even the youngest and strongest of them. Genesis cf Muldooning. In his early manhood Muldoon was a cavalry officer, lie served during the civil war and In the regulur army aft er the war. It Is said that he con ceived his theory of building up run down humanity In the service on the plains, \\ hen gangs of recruits were sent to him to be made Into troopers. Many of the men who enlisted In those days Just after the war were sorry specimens of humanity. Most of the good ablebojled fellows hail had too much of war. It was difficult to get recruits, lint when a man was starv ing In v as willing to enlist, and Mul doon got many of that sort. He put i thetu through ? regular course of train- i Ing?In eating, sleeping anil working. They made new soldiers. That gave Muldoon his Ilea, which he put Into practice a quarter of a century later. It vac file genesis of luuldoonlng.. Tic ? v ho g> to Muhloou's place go to hit a who must be obeyed. The pro fessor Is the commanding officer. lie looks over the wan and tells him pre cisely what to eat, how much and when. He prescribes Just so many hours' sleep, usually alsait ulne. The recruit must get up when the com mander knocks on his door, about 0 | o'clock. When Muldoon says work he must work, whether it lie some form of play exercise or real labor In the 1 fields. If a man needs something In his diet to make him sleep better, Mul doon feeds him lettuce, but more often lie feeds him work. Once a man went to Muhloon'a who was troubled with sleeplessness. At "taps," 0 o'clock, every light Is sup posed to be put out. The professor no ticed some time later a light in this man's room, lie was reading. "All right, my man," muttered the professor. It wasn't all right. It was all wrong. That was merely the Muldoon way of keeping to himself what he Intended doing next day to the derelict one. lie simply put on the patient n con siderable amount of extra work, say ing nothing as to having caught him with his light burning after taps. That night Mr. Patient excused hlmselt shortly after supper and retired. lie slept soundly until the professor rap ped on his door next morulng at (1. Medicine Ball Drill. Mr. Muldoon has Invented one form of exercise which looks amuslug to the outsider, but It Is said to lie the most efficacious of all. It Is the medi cine ball drill. The professor conceiv ed the Idea of making some balls rang ing from six to thirty Inches In diam eter. The men at the farm divide Into sides every morning and proceed to pass the medicine balls. No man knows at any momeut the sire or weight of the ball he Is going to get tossed at him. It may be a little fel low or the biggest In the series. This keeps htm mentally alert as well as physically. Any system that trains the body and neglects the mind, according to Mul doon. Is false t > the first principles of physical culture. The nbillty to see. think and act at one and the same time is the secret of success In ath letics as well as In life, says this mas ter inuldooner of mjn. . \Yh?n Secretary Hoot went to Mul doou's some weeks ago, he was In a condition which gave hlsurlends much alarm, lie had been woraing too hard The secretaryship of state Is no sine j euro. Mr. Root whs run down. For ' some time bo had been thinking of (to lug to .Vtukloon's, and bis friends ad vised hint to do so.

Ilorsoback rldlitg lsf prescribe 1 dally, winter or summer, ralu or shine, and a daily walk of four tulles or sc i Is In the curriculum of this' school for regularity. The Muldoon guestif, .from statesman down, tiro simply pupils un der tbo professor, who Is quite n pug nacious man. by the way, and will brook no interference with bis author ity. If a secretary of s.ate or any body else declines to obey the rules, what happens? Well, the bead master Is not authorized to go to the woods, cut a birch switch nnd apply It. But be shows the farm gate to the obstrep erous one. Every Sunday morning the guests are weigbed. The professor also steps on the scales, for he wants to see whether he Is keeping himself In con dition. Any man who has gained flesh when he should hnTe lost it, or vice venm. gets a change of treatment the following week. The cbauge Is large ly In tho mntter of exercise or work, whether It be boxing, medicine balling, riding or boelng potatoes. It may be that the personality of Professor Muldoon counts for uttich In tho ntuldoonlug of men. He exacts i systematic obedience or he will have nothing to do with n man. But a course In amateur ntuldooning Is open to anybody, anywhere, at any time. If all of us were muldooned now and then. It would mean money In our pockets. And there are no pockets In shioutls i [ TUFTS WORLD TOUR Will Travel on Train de Luxe In Siberia. TO STOP ONLY AT IRKUTSK. Secretary nnd Party, Though Czar's ' Guests, Won't Use State Train?Each Compartment of His Car Will Have a Table, Chair and Reading Lamp. L. J. Garcej', American manager of the International Sleeping Car com pany, which owns and operates the trains tie luxe on the Transsiberlan railroad, returned to New York the. other day from Washington, where he [ue! been to make arrangements with Rrigndler General C. Edwards for Sec retary Tuft's Journey from Vladivos tok to St. Petersburg in the course if his world tour next November, says the New York Times. Mr. Garcey an nounced that this itinerary of the jour ney has been approved by the secre tary of war: L<-;.ve Seattle via steamship Min nesota Sept. 10 Arrive Yokohama Sept. 21 Arrive Kol>e Sept. 29' Arrive Nagasaki Oct. 4 Arrive Shanghai Oct.

Mr. Garcey said that he had cabled to Perls, the headquarters of the In ternational Sleeping Car company, and also to Vladivostok to reserve a spe cial car for the use of Secretary Taft and his family. m . ill 1 ran l.!l* l':tri.\ 111 It'll VU 1 IllUllUQI'M MU Tuesday, Nov. 12. by special train de luxe, which Is considered superior to the Russian state trains which run on other days In the week. The train will he made up of a diner, observa tion car and three sleepers which have seven two berth compartments and one three berth room, all opening off n corridor at the side of the car. "Each compartment of the car which will lie used by Secretary Taft," said Mr. Garcey, "contains a table, chair, reading lamp and lavatory. H. B, Darnell, our general agent in the far east, will accompany the train from Vladivostok to Moscow and see that the secretary's party has every atten tion. The only stop during the loug ten days' ride will lie at Irkutsk, the finest city in Silierla, which Is situated forty miles from the southern extrem ity of Lake Baikal and 3,385 miles by rail from Moscow. "The schedule of the Transslberlau railroad allows only two hours at Ir kutsk for changing trains, but If Mr. Taft wishes to stop off and see some thing of Siberia his car can tie side tracked and attached to the next train. It will lie quite cold in Irkutsk at the end of November, but the Russian ho tels are well heated, and the climate of Siberia Is very healthy. Irkutsk Is the center of the Russo-Chlnese tea trade, the capital of the governor gen eralship for eastern Silierla, and has a population of 00,000, Including 5,000 exiles. "The scenery along the Trausslbe rlau railroad Is very wild and Inter esting. It changes continually from rivers to lakes and mountains Inter spersed with rugged gorges and wa terfalls. At the railroad stations the picturesque Cossack soldiers can be seen on their wiry looking Siberian ponies. ? special provisions, including lrnlts and vegetables of all kinds, will bo put on board the train at different points, and everything possible will bo I done to make Mr. Taft's trip through | Slbpcia as pleasant and Interesting as j posslTUe; "Russian railroad officials will re : eelve Instructions froui St. Petersburg to look after the train and see that It ' gets through oil Jiuio, as the secretary i jsto bo the guest of the czar ^,vTi>r tli? party consists of Mr. and Mrs. Taft, the!?' ptue-year-old sou, Urlgadlei* GeQOlltl Edwards.
